Answer 1

The amount of people on here telling you useless info is insane. If you want to breed your dog, it is your choice, but you're going to get a lot of people telling you that you're ruining the world due to over-population, etc. It happens EVERY time. and 99% of people will tell you LET THE VET HANDLE IT. So for the answer you actually asked for...lol here ya go

Keep in mind that most dogs are full grown after 6-9 months, so you should be fine breeding him now, it's the female you must worry about. As long as she is full grown and both dogs are in good health, and you will find good homes for the puppies (for the over-population freaks) lol.

The female will be pregnant for around 2 months, but when she starts whelping (preparing for labor) you need to keep the male dog away because most of the time he will harm the puppies.

Most of the time the female will know what to do during birth, but you should be there just in case. If she doesn't open the birth sacs, or bite the cords of the pups, you will need to open the sacs and/or cut the cords 2 inches away from the puppies.

She should be fine from there since she is 2 years old. You should be fine in breeding them and if it's what you want to do, do it.

Answer 2

Go for it!
But before you do I'd like to suggest that you open your local newspaper to the pet section and see how many pups of your breed there are for sale.If there are very few then make a quick call to your local animal shelters and ask how many dogs of your breed have gone thru there in the past year.If there's alot you may want to re-think breeding.
I know several self proclaimed breeders who have been stuck with entire litters because they foolishly bred at the wrong time expecting to make alot of fast cash.They ended up giving pups away and still ended up with at least a couple of extra mouths to feed that they had'nt counted on.
Contrary to what I've read here breeding dogs too young results in a high mortality rate in the pups.Dogs should not be bred until they are 2 and every once every other year after that until they are 6 or 7.
Your male should be old enough tho.

Answer 3

The fact remains a substantial number of males are not fertile enough to sire a litter at this age (biology nothing else) It's defiantly best to wait till BOTH are at least 2 yrs so you can do the health testing (CERF eyes, OFA hips, elbows, heart...)

Now if by luck you have an early maturing male and you actually get a mating I would defiantly consider a progesterone test to determine exactly when she ovulated so you have an exact due date so you can be off work for a few days to be there in case of trouble (no experienced breeder will consider not being there)

Answer 4

First off, what kind of dogs do you have? Are they titled or well on their way to being titled? Do you have a reason for breeding other than just to make "cute puppies"? Breeding is a HUGE responsibility and you do not know the first thing about it. Are your dogs vaccinated? Have their monthly heart worm preventative? Both been tested for Brucellosis? Do you know how to whelp the pups and wean the pups?

if your dogs are mutts, not registered and titled. Please do not breed. It only contributes to pet overpopulation. See all the puppies in your local animal shelter, that is because pple decided to breed their dogs and now have an assload of puppies and have no idea what to do with them.

Just be a responisble pet owner and have your dogs Spayed and Neutered!

Answer 5

If you'e decided to breed, you should have learned "now what" a long time ago. I suppose you also haven't done any of the required health tests. Do you know how to look after a pregnant bit ch? Do you know how to assist her if she needs it with whelping? Do you even know how to look after a litter of new borns?

Do your dog a favor and educate yourself!

Answer 6

He not ready and she is NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yet ANOTHER BYB!!!!
Before breeding quesitons:
1. Are my dog purbred?
2. Are they regestard?
3. Are the show quality?
4. Are they titaled?
5. Are they breeding quality?
6. Why do I want to breed?
7. What regestry are they?
Awnsers should be:
1. yes
2. yes
3.yes
4.yes
5.yes
6.For standard
7.AKC
SPAY AND NEUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 7

Your male is old enough but he may not be mature enough. Young males are more than willing to try but weather they succeed or not is to be seen buy you!

Answer 8

Oh god does it never end??????


Here comes the same old lecture...


Do not breed your dog.
You do not know what you are doing.
Your male is not old enough.
Your dogs are not breeding quality.
They female could die from any part of it.
There are thousands of dogs dying in the shelters as we type.
You are a wreckless backyard breeder.
Your dogs are not fit for it.
I could go on and on and on and on and on here....


Spay and neuter...you have no excuses!!!!

Answer 9

Answer 10
